Basically every religion has some idea of sin. It’s atheism which tries and removes that by claiming objective morality doesn’t exist, and that morality is merely just subjective and what people agree upon.
I asked you what conditions you were concerned about for salvation, and you didn’t mention one but tried to demean me again as if I don’t know what “conditions” mean.

That has nothing to do with atheism. All atheism does is stating that there is no god.

You might not like it, but that’s how it is - animals are not concerned with morality, it’s something we human came up with. Does not mean it’s any less valuable than morality derived from magic creatures and imaginary friends.

You are the one who claimed it was free. I just said it had conditions and was therefore not free. I’m not concerned about conditions to beginn with since there is nothing I need salvation from.
Buddhists still believe in a universal moral code.
Ethnologist Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf explained,
In Buddhist thinking the whole universe, men as well as gods, are subject to a reign of law. Every action, good or bad, has an inevitable and automatic effect in a long chain of causes, an effect which is independent of the will of any deity. Even though this may leave no room for the concept of ‘sin’ in the sense of an act of defiance against the authority of a personal god, Buddhists speak of ‘sin’ when referring to transgressions against the universal moral code.
If there is no God, then there’s no moral code, and no objective morality.
Ahh makes sense, you think that humans are evil and depraved - which is kind of telling on yourself. So maybe for you specifically it’s cool that there is a book explaining that murder is bad. Most people just need a bit of empathy to get such a complex idea.
We are evil and depraved. Don’t you see what we have done to this earth? And our moral compass has been ingrained in us since Eden. You don’t need to be a Christian to have morals. We have them because it’s true.
I am one of the most depraved and disgusting people I know. There’s no redeeming qualities about me. That’s why I thank God every day for saving me and forgiving me. He is the only one who can redeem me.

Tell me more about sin in Buddhism.

Babies too? Also unborn babies? Than again, since child cancer is a thing - evil babies might be a thing too. But I digress.
So tell me how are you evil and what is depraved about you?
The same any species without a natural predator would have done? It’s more of an argument against human intelligence as it is for god.

Seems about right.
